Electric Bandaid & Phone Functions

Dangerous Dave talks about the creation of electric bandaids that help heal faster and should be on the market someday in the near future. Plus, AARP's list of things you didn't know your phone can do. Spoiler alert, we already know.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the den with dangerous day. Well,
do you know when you were a kid and you
fell down, or when your kids fell down, all you
needed to do is kiss the boo boo to make
it feel better and heal faster. Well, researchers say they've
developed a new bandage it can heal wounds thirty percent
faster using water powered electric field described as electrical stimulation.

(00:23):
They're actually not really electronics or disposable bandage with electrodes
on one side and a small biocompatible battery on the
others activated by water. The best part is they're saying
they're probably going to be relatively inexpensive, not quite available
yet anyone who wants to heal faster. But the goal
is to fined relief for people with chronic wounds which

(00:44):
are slow to heal, like sores that occur for diabetes patients. Unfortunately,
it's too early to say when they might be available
in stores. Scientists that they're moving forward with additional testing
to get people in clinical trials to use them so
they can put together practical use. This is to help people.
Wow a new bandit. I was stuck on band aid,

(01:05):
but band aids stuck on ou just got shocked deeper
in the two AARP, you know, the American Association of
a Retired Persons. They sent out email nineteen things you
didn't know your smartphone could do? And if you didn't
know your smartphone could do these, you're officially old. Okay,
so the list of things on there, of course I
knew all of these. I use them frequently. See if

(01:27):
you did a flashlight, you don't need to carry around one.
You got a smartphone the weather. There's an app a
calculator performed basic math functions, holding it vertically or rotated
to someone as the scientific calculator for more advanced actions directions.
Most popular GPS apps are called Google Maps, Ways and
Apple Maps. Also, things you didn't know that your phone

(01:48):
could do, according to AARP, is a kitchen timer or
an egg timers. They called it back in your day
a QR code reader. They posted a big explanation what
it means, and basically, you point your camera at the
those weird things that look like barcodes and tip your
phone as a camera too. Bonus tip for you video
camera too. Fun fact you can shoot your own videos.

(02:09):
And there's also included a few tips that might help
younger people younger than one hundred. You can use your
phone to measure things without a ruler, translate foreign languages,
and even listen to us on the radio. That's my
favorite part too. In again for another episode of Deeper
in the Den with dangerous Dave Blight. Dear
